The line graph illustrates the number of visits, measured in thousands, to two newly-launched music websites, namely Pop Parade and Music Choice, over a fifteen-day period.
Overall, Pop Parade consistently attracted a larger audience at the beginning and end of the period, whereas Music Choice experienced lower figures initially but showed a notable surge towards the end.
At the start, Pop Parade was significantly more popular, with approximately 120,000 daily visits compared to around 40,000 for Music Choice. While the former maintained this high level for the first three days, it then declined steadily, dropping to about 20,000 visits by Day 7. After fluctuating for a short time, the site experienced a dramatic recovery, peaking at 150,000 on Day 11 before falling again. Nevertheless, by the final days, Pop Parade regained momentum, reaching its highest point of nearly 170,000 visits.
In contrast, Music Choice began at a much lower base and remained under 40,000 visits until Day 10. From Day 11 onwards, however, its popularity rose sharply, climbing to around 120,000 visits on Day 12 and maintaining relatively high levels thereafter, though it ended slightly lower at around 70,000 on the final day.
In summary, while Pop Parade dominated overall and displayed more volatility, Music Choice gained considerable traction later in the period, suggesting a narrowing gap between the two sites.
